Good evening everyone! I made a bunch of DT cards today! Trying to keep ahead... Don't like to be last minute because life happens... and sometimes I don't get as much craft time as I would like.

So my special treat for doing all this was to create something with the wonderful digis that I won at Daisy Doodle this past week. I got some specifically to play again :D

So for this card I used Li'l Drac. There's 2 digis that come with this set. The coffin and the little Dracula.

I used paper from DCWV - Midnight spell and from Authentique - Glowing. I used my grand circle and classic square from spellbinder.

I colored the digis with my copics and used black soot distress ink around the circle.

I also distress the edge of the sentiment that comes from... you guessed it Create with TLC I added a button that I found at my local fabric store and a little charm that I thought was just perfect for this from my stash:

So this is it for me for tonight! It's off to bed I go! With the antibiotics I now feel better! So big week of work ahead for me :D But then long weekend in perspective next week since we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada!!!!

I'm so very excited! I've blogged hoped along previous TLC blog hop! But now to be part of the team is truly a privilege!!!! I'm really really blessed to be part of this so talented team!

And of course you just have to admit that Paulette is so generous by doing this and sharing so many digis!!!

You should have arrived here from the wonderful Rhonda - Printables. If you didn't you should start up at Cynthia so that you don't miss any of the fabulous creations everyone has done!

For this card I used My mind's eye paper - Lime twist. I used my EK border punch for the little holes that reminded me of water. The digi was cut using Label 19. The ribbon is from the dollar store and the charm from my stash.

The sky was done with Broken china distress ink. The water was done with my distress ink pen Stormy sky. The rest of the digi was done with my copics.

I paired this cute digi with this awesome sentiment from Create with TLC. I thought this was perfect for this image to wish a happy birthday.

And here's a look at my bow with the little charm.

I hope you like my card! Looking forward to see what you make with this wonderful digi. Just right click and save!

I came across a great new artist when I was doing my DT work! I've already purchased a few of her fabulous digis... some which will be showing up in future DT work. Keep your eyes on my blog for it! This is the logo and link! Go check her out here. She has a giveaway right now so why not join her?!?

And our challenge for you is a sketch! I will be putting the sketch at the bottom of this post.

So for my card I used the digi Fairy Sweet from Freshed Brewed design.

For this card I used some paper from BoBunny - Alora. I used a ribbon from the dollar store. The little metal flowers and corner piece is also from the dollar store. The brad that is holding the cute little charm comes from Eyelet Outlet.

I used my copics to color the image and added some stickles to the wings of the fairy. The image and sentiment were distressed with Festive Berries distress inks.

The sentiment is one from Create with TLC. I thought it was just perfect for this sweet image:

Here's the sketch that you have to follow this week:

So will you be joining us this week at Crafting when we can challenges?!? Don't forget you can only link up to 5 challenges including ours. It's so sad when we have to remove from the top choices entries that don't follow that rule...

Well... I haven't used my sewing machine for real sewing with fabric in forever! What I've been using it with is for cards. And this is one that was definitively worth it.

For this card I used the wonderful digi from Gingerloft called Panda Lunch. I did nothing to the image beside a bit of distress ink because it's so fabulous.

For this card I used paper from Basic Grey - from the Olive collection. I use also for the flourish MS paper punch pad where there was the wonderful kraft paper. The die is from Memory box, it's called whimsical flourish. I used my Tim Holtz distresser on all the paper to distress the card.

Here's a closer look at the digi to which I added vintage photo distress ink:

The sentiment is from Create with TLC and I thought it was perfect for this card.

I hope that this card will have inspired you to join us at Gingerloft challenge. I'm looking forward to commenting your entries.

Hello to all my wonderful followers. I have promised that I would celebrate my 100th follower by doing a candy giveaway :D Well it's here. I have put together a mix of 40 charms that you can see in the picture below. I hope that you will like them.

This giveaway is strictly for my followers I don't want people that just join for the candy. If you don't follow my work please don't enter, as this is to thank all of the wonderful people that leave comments and inspire me to continue!

I can't believe I only started this back in March and already I have 196 post. I have met amazing people with the DT teams that I'm on and get to learn soooooo much! I keep having to pinch myself (believe me I have tons of bruises to show for it lol).

So this is it:

I would really love it if you would share this picture in your sidebar with a link to send people here :D

For this challenge I got to work with the fabulous image Caroling Snowmen from The Stamping Boutique! What wonderful Christmas image.

I used the paper from Basic Grey - Nordic Holiday. I also used some shiny paper from The immortal Love. I used scalloped and standard circle dies from Spellbinder.

I didn't know how dangerous card making was until I made this card.... I wanted to use my MS snowflake punch to cut out some snowflakes out of some felt... well... I broke the punch and ended up punching my finger! Big time hole in my middle finger!﻿ Blood everywhere and no more punch... Luckily for me I had a spellbinder snowflake border. I used the snowflakes from that to finish off the card when I had finally gotten the blood mess under control... yikes... dangerous activity crafting lol :D

I added some Robin's Nest Dew drops on top of the snowflakes.

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my copics. I added some stickles to the snow and snowmen as well as the lamp and the star. It doesn't show all the sparkles in the picture but it's really sparkly!

Welcome to another challenge at Tuesday throwdown! This week our challenge is about fall! And our sponsor is My Grafico. It was so much fun creating this card.

For this card I used Bobunny- Apple Cider. Totally love this wonderful fall collection. I used Long classic rectangle to cut out the image and the sentiment. The paper underneath is cut with Label 21. They are both from Spellbinder. I added some twine and a little charm. You still have 2 days to enter my Giveaway if you haven't done so yet :D

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored using my copics. I distressed the edge using vintage photo distress ink.

And here's a look at a sentiment from Create with TLC that I paired with some fall flowers purchased at Michaels and a stick pin that I made.

I really hope that I will have inspired you to join us this week at Tuesday throwdown. I look forward to seeing your entries.

To make this card I used some paper from Basic Grey - Olive paper pack. I used lots of fun dies : Label 1, Scalloped Label 1, gromet tag all from Spellbinder. The flourish was made using Dee's Distinctively - Flourish #3 the paper was from Martha Steward punch pad. The ribbon was purchased at Omer De Serres.

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored using my copics. The edge was done with Peeled paint distress ink. I used glossy accent to make the tears.

And here's a look at the sentiment that I used a wonderful sentiment from Create with TLC. It reminded me of when my kids were small and a kiss and hug could make it all better... yeah... they no longer believe that...
